[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought Murch was supposed to be one of the shining stars of DCPS. It seems like even the "good" public schools in DCPS are plagued with problems, although it's hard to tell from the posts if the problem is administrators or parents who are too high-maintenance. [/quote] Supportive, engaged parents can overcome bureaucratic dysfunction. Kids with parents who are invested in their education will generally succeed. So Murch's success (and Lafayette's, and Janney's, and Mann's...) is much more highly correlated with the percentage of kids from supportive homes than it is with the quality of the school itself. As a Murch parent, I think we'll be fine, although it would be wonderful to find a great principal who garners the support of teachers and families.[/quote]
